Polyfill or Tyvek or even Ez Felt. Try a store Tyvek is free at a post office if you take some tyvek mailers.

I think the op is talking about sfd's. Many of our sponsors carry synthetic filter disks I believe.

Ive never used sfd's, but Ive reused the same homemade EZ Felt discs 6 times now with no contams. You can find it at just about any arts and crafts store, or order it from hobbylobby.com...I picked up more than I'll ever need for around $5 shipped.

i might try ez felt again, i tried it a couple years ago, but had horrble contams, but i guess it could been quality of it... I figured by now there would be someone/place selling the actual material of the filter disc's so you could just cut your own and save money.. thanks

Yep, what Chaotic said. Go to any hobby store (Hobby Lobby is the one I use) Go towards their fabric section and you'll see a ton of polyfil. Right were that polyfil is, you'll see the polyfil that is in sheets or a roll of it in a bag. You'll want it dense and semi thick, but it's 100% synthetic. Just cut out quarter or so pieces from it and bingo bango, your own SFD for cheap. You'll have a TON of leftover for future use if needed.
(edit to add) You shouldn't get contams if you RTV Red silicone seal it to the lids and then pressure cook them.

Whatever. No sponsors sell EZ Felt, and hobby lobby is the cheapest place I could find it. I couldn't care less about their religious beliefs or Jews being offended by them.

Ha, I was being kind of sarcastic. I shop at wallmart from time to time FFS. If you have what I need for the right price you could kill puppies in your spare time for all I care.

It is NOT filter paper!

My understanding is its the same thing as ez-felt (pressed polyfil material) its just rated: filtration rate of 99.97% and will filter down to .3 microns.
Ez-felt and other materials have no micron rating.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17541647#17541647 thats a post i made in january about felt filters. i dont remember if i mention it in the post but i get that shit in the walmart arts n craft section right down the isle from my little zip-lock baggies that are penny a piece (100 for a dollar).

If you go EZ felt make sure it's the stiffened variety not the floppy kind. I refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby for the reason someone else posted earlier but Michael's and Wal-Mart also carry it. Should be about $.99 for an 8.5x11 sheet and that'll make a ton of you cut them the size of a quarter.
